After working both in private practice veterinary medicine for 15+ years and 13 years at the Purdue Behavioral Clinic with Dr. Andrew Luescher, Julie saw that both pet parents and veterinary professionals needed support with behavioral concerns.
Julie established a team of veterinary professionals and specialists in pet behavior and the human-animal bond to assist in providing preventative and intermediate care.
In March of 2020, Julie sold the business to Pawsitive Pets LLC. They are a positive-based dog training business out of West Lafayette that Stepping Stone has worked with before on several occasions. Julie knows Pawsitive Pets will keep pushing Stepping Stones towards the goal she always had, calm hearts and happy minds.
Our ideas have not changed, we hope to provide preventative care services in order to stop a behavior concern before it becomes a real issue. By assessing and hearing pet parent concerns, we are capable of making recommendations for the next steps that are shared with both the pet parent and the animal’s veterinarian.
Stepping Stone has a strong support team with medical and veterinary backgrounds that specialize in animal behavior and the human-animal bond. Our mission at Stepping Stone is to promote, strengthen and protect the human-animal bond. To meet that goal, we have created a behavioral and mental health care team to support pets and the people who love them

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING:
SARAH CUPREWICH
Everyone at Stepping Stone is awesome! They really do care about increasing the quality of life for your pet by lowering their feelings of stress and anxiety. I would never take my dog anywhere else to get trained or groomed, and I've learned so much about proper training techniques that I can use at home!
DANIEL WALKUP
Everyone on the Stepping Stone crew really knows what they're doing. Never before have I been in a place for dogs where the concentrated level of experience and talent in training, behavior, etc, was so high. My experience so far with them has been well above and beyond what I expected in only a very short time, and my dog is already making great progress. Highly recommended that anyone checks them out.
MICHELLE HENRIOTT
The trainers are truly engaged with my puppy. She enjoys her time spent “at school” and I can see a difference in her behavior after her mini-lessons while there. They have a true passion and love for these dogs and I trust them totally with my precious puppy.
